Story of Ganesha - an incredible deity and my favorite

Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Davi.  He was supposed to be guarding his mother and so he didn't let his father in while his mom was taking a bath (Ganesha didn't know it was his dad).  As a result, Shiva decapitated Ganesha.  Once he found out it was his son, Shiva gave Ganesha an elephant head.  He is the most fun of all the deities.  He loves to eat and play games just like a little kid.  He also destroys any obstacles in our lives so he is a real gem to believe in, worship and enjoy.
